The xen sources are in a different gate.. You need to
grab the xen related sources which match the build
of on-src... e.g. for b79
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b79/xvm-src.tar.bz2
In there, you'll see a xen.hg with mercurial mq patches
required to build Xen on/for a Solaris dom0.
I believe b79 is based on 3.0.4. Build 89 which
should be available soon is based on 3.1.4.
